Choices

It's quiet. It's early. My coffee is hot. The sky is still black. The world is still asleep. The day is coming. In a few moments it will arrive. It will roar down the track with the rising sun. The stillness of the dawn will be exchanged for the noise of the day. The calm of solitude will be replaced by the pounding pace of the human race. The refuge of the early morning will be invaded by decisions to be made and deadlines to be met.

For the next twelve hours I will be exposed to the day's demands. It's now that I must make choices.

I choose love. No occasions justifies hatred. No injustice warrants bitterness.

I choose joy. Life is the only real gift we have and it's free. This is heaven so live it up.

I choose peace. I will forgive others so that I may live free and forgiven myself.

I choose patience. Rather to complain that the wait is too long I will thank the higher for a chance to pray, meditate and reflect.

I choose kindness. I will be nice to those that will do me wrong.

I choose goodness. I will go without a dollar. I will confess before I accuse.

I will keep promises. My debtors will not regret their trust and my associates will not question my word.

I choose gentleness. Nothing is won by force. If I raise my voice may it be to praise. If I clinch my fist may it be to pray.

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness.

To these I commit my day. If I succeed, I will give thanks. If I fail, I will seek the divine grace. And then, when this day is done, I will club my ass off then lay my head upon a pillow and rest!

May the gods of all of us help us all to live good and exciting lives in and out of our clubs ! May he give us good wine to drink and pretty women to make love to.

Much Love,
